Stepping into Business

This is a 10 x 1 hour programme that allows Year 5 and 6 pupils to explore the world of business in a fun, practical and cross-curricular way. It promotes children's creative thinking skills and encourages pupils to develop enterprising behaviours through play. Through interactive activities, pupils explore the origins of trade and business, learn the importance of research and grasp the concept of supply and demand. Pupils also identify their own enterprising skills, consider the benefits of competition in the marketplace and explore moral dilemmas that businesses face. These engaging lessons allow students to develop life-long personal, social and enterprising skills and attitudes.
